Chapter Review Wiki pages (Individual Task). The numbers seem to work in favor that we all take one chapter including myself (Since I am going to make a Facebook Page up for Nicholas I will take chapter 21.) First come first serve below...put your initials beside the chapter you wish to create a review for as well as the Facebook figure you wish to create.
On the respective pages to the left you need to research, review and script:
4 Big Ideas (Overarching, thematic)...in your own words.
What's a big idea in history?
Definition: Big ideas are statements summarizing important ideas and core processes that are central to a discipline and have lasting value beyond the classroom. They synthesize what students should understand—not just know or do—as a result of studying a particular content area. Moreover, they articulate what students should “revisit” over the course of their lifetimes in relationship to the content area.
frame the big ideas that give meaning and lasting importance to such discrete curriculum elements as facts and skills
can transfer to other fields
“unpack” areas of the curriculum where students may struggle to gain understanding or demonstrate misunderstandings and misconceptions
provide a conceptual foundation for studying the content area and
are deliberately framed as declarative sentences that present major curriculum generalizations and recurrent ideas
You need 4 Essential Questions (Overarching, thematic)...again...in your own words What's the criteria for an EQ?
Essential questions are “important questions that recur in historical studies.” They are “broad in scope and timeless by nature.”
Essential questions refer to “core ideas and inquiries within a discipline.” They “point to the core of big ideas in a subject and to the frontiers of technical knowledge. They are historically important and alive in the field.”
Essential questions help “students effectively inquire and make sense of important but complicated ideas, knowledge, and know-how — a bridge to findings that experts may believe are settled but learners do not yet grasp or see as valuable.”
You need 2 primary sources-1 written & 1 visual (with an analysis of why they are important). Link them to the page (s) please.
Analysis of a primary source means we are asking certain types of questions. Whose voice is it? How does context impact point of view? What's the intention of the source? Who was the audience? What was the audience supposed to get out of it? Do gender roles mean something? Does status? Does occupation? What intellectual forces might be at work? Primary sources required nuanced examination and I am asking you to model that on the Wiki.
You need 1 useful map with an analyis of what's important (what does this map tell about the story of Europe and why is this important?). Again, link the wiki to the page.
You need 10 useful terms with a linked paraphrase of their meanings.
You need 1 Assessment that measures for understanding the above. No more than 10 questions. You need to create an answer key as well. This needs to done on a WORD doc and then hyperlinked.
You need 1 critical figure of which you will create a Facebook page that needs to "friend" other "friends". Since their are plenty of figures we can look at in history everyone must do this. Again, this part of the Wiki will not be collaborative. And I take back something I said in class; why not if you want to use a generic "Joe the Farmer" in the context of something like the Enclosure movement. They have perspectives that shape history and it might be interesting to emphathize with thier issues. You could also make a Facebook page for a group. Please include the Facebook url on your Wiki page.
What would Charles Darwin say to Herbert Spencer?
How would Van Gogh update his facebook status?
What music might Frederick II share? Why?
What might your figure post for "favorite" philosophies.
What else can a Facebook Page do for us? Please inform. For the record, I would like to take Csar Nicholas I of Russia.
Who is working on which chapter?Place your initials beside the chapter you wish to research / review. I have 21. Also ID your historical figure or group you wish to represent with a Facebook page.
Chapter 12 NL, Machiavelli
Chapter 13 CM, Martin Luther
Chapter 14 JK, Cortes
Chapter 15 VD, Louis XIV
Chapter 16 ML, Isaac Newton
Chapter 17 TP, Rousseau
Chapter 18 BS, Louis XV
Chapter 19 AA, Napoleon
Chapter 20 RS Prince Albert
Chapter 21 MZ, Facebook figure: Nicholas I
Chapter 22 HM, Charles Darwin
Chapter 23 AQ,
Chapter 24 IA, Nietzsche
Chapter 25 AT, Lenin
The above assignment will be due on April 4/15/11 (worth an essay grade). Starting on 4/18 you be given assignments to visit each other's pages. For example, the assignment for: 4/19 would be to review chapters 12&13 4/20 14&15 4/21 16&17 4/26 18&19 4/27 20&21 4/28 22&23 4/29 24&25
You would not have to do your own review. For one of the assignments you will only have one chapter. In my case, because I am doing 21 I would only have to worry about 20 on 4/27.
